Meet the authors

Adele Faber and Elaine Mazlish, whose best-selling books include How To Talk So Kids Will Listen and Listen So Kids Will Talk and Siblings Without Rivalry have developed “do-it-yourself” group workshop programs which have won the enthusiastic praise of parents and professionals worldwide. The authors’ practical, down-to-earth methods give adults the know-how they need to create relationships with children of all ages — from tots to teens — that are less stressful and far more rewarding.

(When kids won't listen)

In 2017, Adele Faber's daughter, Joanna, collaborated with her childhood friend, Julie King, to write a follow-up to her mother's book, How to Talk So Little Kids Will Listen. They followed that in 2021 with How To Talk When Kids Won't Listen. All books are outstanding references for bringing calm to your home.
